Hi Mason,

I can totally understand your thoughts on the swing mgr. But from what I understand of the poker room mgr She's very well qualified in making a room very successful. Certainly there would be some learning curve to this locality differing from her last position. But overall if she does what her reputation suggests this room will be #2 or #3 to Bellagio & Mirage for a long time. I suggest the only reason it wont become #1 is not enough space, and the long standing "aura" of "Bellagio" along with the tight connection to WPT.

The one thing I was very very surprised about however was the total disallowance of a toke comittee for the dealers. This in the long run hurts them. Too much $$ disappears. Which naturally means better dealers will leave. This has happened already when a rather large toke was left for the dealers and they actually rec'd less than 25% of what they were due by normal standards for a certain event which I wont divulge.

Regards,
Fish

ps...Sorry for the interruption last nite. My mistake.
